Dear Debian maintainer,
The blootbot Debian package, which you are the maintainer of, has
pending bug report(s) which include translation updates or fixes
for po-debconf, namely bug number 433125 (and maybe other similar bugs).
It is also one of the few packages without LSB headers in its init
script. Petter proposed an NMU for this and, Neil, you agreed for it.
I hereby propose to combine two NMU actions and save you time,
Petter...by NMU'ing for both l10n and init script stuff.
Such changes are always harmless, which explains why I safely consider
building NMU's for such issues even though they're obviously non critical.
The schedule for the NMU (in case it happens, that is if you agree with it
or if I don't receive any answer in 14 days) is roughly the following:
Friday, May 30, 2008 : send this notice
Monday, June 09, 2008 : post a NMU announcement to debian-i18n with you
(maintainer) CC'ed
this can happen earlier if the maintainer agrees
In such case, the deadlines below will also
happen earlier
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 : (midnight) deadline for receiving translation updates
Wednesday, June 18, 2008 : build the package and upload it to DELAYED/2-day
send the NMU patch to the BTS
Friday, June 20, 2008 : NMU reaches incoming
If you intent to upload yourself, please notify me so that I interrupt
the process on my side. Please also don't upload without a discussion
with me. Some translators might send a few new translations and I can handle
a round of translation updates for you. Really, don't upload silently...:-)
In case I upload an NMU, I will subscribe to the Package Tracking System for
blootbot and follow its life for 60 days after my NMU in order to fix
any issue potentially introduced by my upload.
Let me know, as soon as possible, if you have any kind of objection to this
process.
If you'd rather do the fix yourself, I will of course leave the package
alone. Same if you have reasons not to do the update now.
